Telegram has a security feature that helps users to hide their personal information and strengthen their privacy and security. This feature lets you hide your phone number so that strangers don't get access to your account. But to do this, you will need to have the latest version of Telegram and a good working internet connection.

Now how to hide your contact details?

Go to the Settings option after opening the Telegram app on your phone.

You will find the Privacy and Security option under the Settings category, and there you will get a variety of options, including hiding personal details.
